Salamander urges installers to avoid poor quality imports

Salamander Pumps has called on installers to take a stronger stance against low-quality imported shower pumps entering the UK market, warning that non-compliant products pose risks to both consumers and installers’ reputations. 

The manufacturer says a growing number of poorly tested imports are appearing online and within supply chains, often relying on self-declaration rather than robust, independent compliance checks. In contrast, Salamander Pumps designs and builds its products in Sunderland and combines in-house testing with independent third-party assessment to confirm full compliance. 

Every product manufactured by Salamander Pumps carries genuine UKCA and CE marks, demonstrating adherence to all relevant UK and EU regulations. All the company’s products are also designed and manufactured to meet strict BSI (British Standards Institution) and EN (European) standards for household electrical appliances, ensuring installers can specify with complete confidence. 

Salamander Pumps is urging installers to prioritise independently tested, British-made products, highlighting that quality, safety and long-term reliability are essential for compliant, professional installations.
